I would like to suggest to keep temporary files off the Desktop completely, because they interfere with the placement of other icons. Perhaps temporary files can be stored either in the Cyberduck directory or one of the Windows temp directories, and the user can be given a choice.

I would like to also support keeping all temporary files away from the desktop or any non-temporary folder.

Windows drag&drop mechanics does not allow source application of drag&drop operation to easily find out where the files are dropped. That why we have a filesystem watcher and create a temporary file at the drop location to find out the drop folder. There is no easy way to change this. A shell extension might be a solution but needs a major refactoring.

I don't understand the comment by yla. Cyberduck creates a temporary file during a transfer, and the temporary file remains there even after Cyberduck is closed. That's not normal behavior. If you know where the temp file is created, then you know where to remove it from.

I think yla might be a bit confused. The actual issue is not that the file is not removed, but that windows seems to think it is there until there is a manual refresh. It might be a windows problem, but I suspect there might a way to fix it within Cyberduck.

We cannot reproduce the issue that the Desktop in Explorer must be manually refreshed.

dkocher: Are you using Windows 8.1 x64?

I'm using windows 10 x64

When I use the "duck --longlist" key temp files are created

When I use the "duck --delete" key temp files are created

When I use the "duck --upload" key temp files are created

Temporary files are not automatically deleted when the program cyberduck is finished

After one night of work 5GB of temporary files were formed.

I Have to remove them manually.

Because the files are very shallow the deletion takes a very long time.

I hope this can be fixed somehow?
